One of the strongest arguments for the gospel of Jesus Christ might just be the personal testimony

of someone who's been radically changed by it. I remember reading the story of Charles Bradlaw.

He was a devout atheist, self-described, avowed, infidel. He challenged the head of a rescue

mission there in London, England back in the 1800s to a debate. So it'd be Charles Bradlaw, the

devout atheist, against Reverend Hughes. And it was kind of an

interesting thing. Hughes agreed to do it, but with one condition. So this big debate between these two

sort of famous, the guy on the left, total atheist, the guy on the right, a Christian pastor.

But Hughes said, I have one condition, I want to bring 100 people whose lives have been radically changed and transformed by the gospel

message. And they get to share their testimonies of what the Lord has done. And you bring 100 people

who can tell their stories of how they were helped by their lack

of faith or no faith at all. And when the appointed day came for the debate, the preacher came

with his 100 transformed persons. Bradlaw never showed up. The meeting turned into just a testimony time where many sinners gathered who

wanted to hear the debate about Christianity versus atheism, and many got saved that night

because there was no Charles Bradlaw didn't even show up. The gospel is life-changing, no question

about it. And it is one of the great arguments for just

the reality of Jesus and the gospel. Now, some of you say, well, that's not proof positive.

It may not be. Some might say it's all psychological and it might just be, you know, emotional or

whatever. But if you're a Christian, you know it's more than that.

But at least should go, if you're an atheist,

it should at least go in the category of, wow, interesting.

So try to find 100 atheists that are really, really happy

and excited about being atheists and life-changing,
